Garage Parking	$5 up to 5 hours, $24 per day
Economy Parking	$11 per day

Philadelphia airport parking can be expensive and unreliable. With millions of travelers each day, the airport will soon run out of parking spaces. Having only 3 parking options means circling the lots or paying expensive rates. If you park in the economy lot, you will have to wait for the shuttle bus and hope that it's running on time. Not to mention that airport parking isn’t safe with unattended cars and security personnel unable to monitor each lot and garage.
